ask the chemist - they are generally very knowledgeable about suitable medicines for common problems

u can also boil a glass of red wine, let it cool a little, put a tablespoon of honey and drink... but do this before u sleep., and only if u r not taking any medicines.... u will sleep like a baby !

I would really suggest letting the chemist choose for you, or even better - seeing a doctor! There arer several kinds of cough, which need different kinds of syrups. You already defined that it's dry, which is important - but why is it there? Is it a leftover from a flu, or due to smoking, or due to allergies? Different treatments for each... you really shouldn't be treating just the symptom - need to get to the cause =) I'm a nurse at the emergency department and I'm tired of seeing patients in poor condition after months of taking the wrong syrup...

Please take care of yourself? =)

Could be allergies, just go to any pharmacy ask for a doctor 5-10 euro for visit..good luck , na zdorov'e

Language Timothy!!!!!!

Personally, I advocate Retsina, especially for those annoying 'tickly coughs'.

Anyway, why go to a doctor and waste time?
A good vintner is all you need and there are plenty on Malta/Gozo.

Or a supermarket.

Evviva!!
